About

An enchanting programme of Russian music for string quartet from the acclaimed Kuss Quartet.

The disc includes the multiple-composer 'Variations on a Russian folk song', which has composers such as Scriabin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov and Lyadov rubbing shoulders with lesser-known names such as Vitols, Blumenfeld, Ewald, Winkler, Sokolov and Artsybuschev – each composer contributing a variation.

Selections from Tchaikovsky’s 'Album for the Young' frame two 20th-century works: Stravinsky’s effervescent 'Concertino', and Schnittke’s spare and sombre 'Canon in memoriam Igor Stravinsky'.

Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular First String Quartet concludes an ingeniously constructed programme.

Kuss Quartet:
- Jana Kuss, Oliver Wille [violins]
- William Coleman [viola]
- Mikayel Hakhnazaryan [cello]
